TITHING DOWN 62%
As unbelievable as it sounds, George Barna says that, "The proportion of households that tithe their income to their church – that is, give at least ten percent of their income to that ministry – has dropped by 62% in the past year, from 8% in 2001 to just 3% of adults during 2002." Link

I wonder why the drop – but more so, I wonder what we’re made of if anything or any set of circumstances can cause so many of us to abandon the practice so quickly. One more sign of the mile wide inch deep syndrome?
